Protostar all the way. It’s great in play, as good as higher priced metals in play, but it vibes more. You should spend 5 bucks more and get a Raptor because it plays as good and has no vibe. Raptor is under-rated. ---

Also, if you prefer a heavier yoyo, get the Northstar. ---

northstar for a heavier plastic $35 bucks protostar for a lighter plastic $35 bucks raptor for a great metal yoyo very underated $40 bucks or a counter attack if u want a plastic like the protostar but with the pgm2 shape $31 ---

If you want a cheap metal that plays as good as, if not better than any of those plastics, get a Popstar. ---
